[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's clear that some parents can't accept the fact that their child is average, and there is nothing wrong with a child being average vis-à-vis a child being "advanced."

Broadly expanding the AAP program to serve both average and advanced students would inevitably weaken the program, and do a disservice to advanced and average students alike.[/quote]

You could say this about TJ as well. [/quote]

Not really.  There is no objective scale and criteria for AAP selection and the program is not "advanced" enough to be a gifted program.

It is not a gifted program as many have noted, and there is no acceptable reason for why the acceptance criteria is not simple and clear.

The issue is that placement is subjective and the criteria are opaque, which makes the cost of testing and time spent on selection, appeals, principal placement to be a waste of publicly funded school budgets that can be better spent on education. [/quote]
